November 19, 2025,Striegistal, immer am Bach lang🌊

Today we explored some unfamiliar paths in the Striegis Valley.

We stopped by the ostrich farm 👌, followed idyllic trails along the Striegis River, and finished the tour with delicious coffee and cake at a coffee roastery.

So, we made good use of the "Saxony holiday."

A short, cozy, partly shady walk with exquisite coffee and delicious cake halfway through ☕️.

Start at the free hiking car park and walk left of the Striegis towards the A4 bridge (construction time in 1937 was also only two years – renovation and lane widening with modern technology later took more than twice as long 😅).

June 11, 2022,Tal der Kleinen Striegis – Blick über das Striegistal Runde von Arnsdorf

This first post-corona hike. More or less just to see if something has suffered :D But everything is ok.

The Striegistal is one of the most beautiful river valleys there is, I think, we really like being there and all in all it is very well developed. The highway bridge is a crime, but necessary. Drive over it yourself often …

The New Year's round led again into the Striegistal from Berbersdorf over the duck's bill to Pappendorf and back on the other bank.
The rapid changes in nature are particularly evident on paths that have often been walked on. The bark beetle fetches the last spruce trees, a number of old alders on the bank have fallen, and various uprooted …

Beautiful leisurely hiking tour, also suitable for children. The historical bridges surprised me in this narrow valley and bear witness to former great trade routes. Noteworthy also the former factories of cotton and cloth production, from the floods. 2002 there is no trace anymore...

Apart from the ubiquitous highway noise, a beautiful winding and enchanted river valley, almost like something out of a fairy tale.

While the kids and grandchildren were in the Sonnenlandpark, I decided to go for a short hike along the Striegis. Except for the part in Pappendorf, it was mostly shady. The paths along the Striegis were easy to walk. You should wear long trousers because of the ticks. But it was OK in shorts too. The route itself is beautiful. …

April 26, 2025,Striegistal abwärts ab Pappendorf nach Kalkwerk mit der IVd

Today we were out and about in the Striegis Valley with parents from the former class IVd.
In perfect weather, we first passed the Straußenhof farm from Pappendorf, then over the hill to Berbersdorf, and then back into the valley with the Rainbow Bridge. From here, it wasn't far to the rest stop at the Kalkbrücke inn. After a quick …
